About This Game Take command over RAF during the WW2 history turning point, the Battle of Britain! The goal of the game is to defend Great Britain against German bombing raids. The game has two distinct gameplay experiences where: * The player manages war production and squadron placement * The player organizes patrol routes and tactics Once combat is initiated the player can lead their squadrons to attack waves of German bombers utilizing simple touch or mouse commands. The game follows the historical timeline very closely, but at the same time - the game mechanics are easy to learn (yet hard to master) and it provides great entertainment for both seasoned and novice players. * There are 8 aircraft types in the game - including of course the famous Supermarine Spitfire! * Every pilot is earning his own experience - witness your rookies become aces! * Manage the British war machine - decide what should be built and where * Fight epic air battles! * Lead English, Polish, Czechs, Canadian and New Zealands squadrons to fight for freedom! The game implements ‘German Command AI” which results in each campaign playing out differently. No two games will ever be the same. 7aa9394dea Title: The FewGenre: StrategyDeveloper:BlackMoon DesignPublisher:BlackMoon Design Release Date: 18 Jun, 2014 The Few Ativador Download [Xforce] as a brit and a fan of the RAF i had to get this game and i have never gone back since this game is one that will keep you on yout toes and keep you gessing as to how big the german air raids will be.. I actually looked for a game like this, but ... it's really extremely repetitive after only a few ingame days of play. That said, you can't even skip the repetitive part, because autoresolving battles will always inflict significantly higher losses on your squadrons compared to manual battles. Since you then need to rebuild planes, recruit more pilots etc, this would make you lose the game eventually, no matter how many planes and AA you build.Apart from a more sensible autobattle function, I'd like to be able to throw in more than just 8 planes. The AI can come up with like 36 per battle, why can't I when I do have the squadrons available?. Rather repetitive. Once you grasp the basics, you find that there's nothing beyond 'basics' at all, but ton of micromanaging the same dogfights.Lack of depth and gameplay development makes various UI bugs, random peaks in difficulty and localization problems fade in comparison.Would be pretty nice for early access alpha build though.. This is a game you will play for a few days get fustrated with then quit for months.. it also doesn't help that the dev team which wasn't big to begin with just gave up on it after promises of the Few 2 that will most likely never happen. If you have the extra money to waste and have every other game you want on steam it might be worth buyingCan't really say it's worth $8.00 either with no dev support this should be like $4.00 at most imo. Ignore all positive reviews for this game. The devs have clearly given up with no patches coming out for 3 whole years. The game resembles a WW2 strategy\/management game, but has more in common with a tower defense game. Firstly, you get a factory to build either: A) Spitfires and Hurricanes, B) Airfields, C) RADAR, D) Other Factories, and E) AA Guns. Thats it. You place the building wherever you want, intercept German bombers with the fighters, get taxes from cities that haven't been bombed by the Germans to supply the factory(ies) to build more resources in a game that becomes bland and unfun in LESS THAN 2 HOURS. The combat is just awful. In real life, the Brits employed a tactic called 'The Big Wing' where a massive amount of British planes flew together to compensate for the overwealming German numbers. In this game, you get a max of 8 planes who can face up to 20 German bombers AND fighters. Bombers have this weird attack, going head-on with your fighters, which cripple your own, but the bomber comes out just fine, with it's one machine gun destroying your plane while your eight seem to have no effect. A dogfight in this game is just 2 fighters flying in a circle trying to shoot each-other. Thats it. Often, your pilots get shot down, and you need to babysit the 'Bail Out' button, because you have less than a second to bail one or more of your pilots out, or else they die. They simply cannot bail out themselves, for reasons unknown, so you need to stare intently on the list of pilots you have, waiting for that red button to appear. The game has no sense of actual skill involved, so you start using your precious planes like how the Russians did because that seems to be the only tactic to work, rushing them. Theres only one good thing to come out of the game, and it isnt even a part of the gameplay itself, its the awesome, rare background for your steam profile, which I use alot and will continue to do so because the artstyle rocks. But in conclusion, this game sucks, horrendously. It isn't even worth 3 bucks to be honest, and I can't understand why people preach of how good this game is. It's on the bottom of the steam store for a reason, and it should stay that way.DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. This game is so close to being good, but it falls short in a few ways that by themselves aren't a big deal, but together create a poor experience. Pros - A unique experience in PC gaming (for the most part).Interesting management aspectsCons -Poor and unresponsive UI and controls.There were 71 squadrons in the Battle of Britain. Of those, 2 were Polish. Yet in the 3 times I played the campaign, all my squadrons were polish, with polish names and voices. This is INCREDIBLY unimmersive. Oh and weird, the developers are Polish. I'm all for remembering their sacrifice and effort in the battle of britain, but not at the expense of the British.The game is not well explained to you. There's a short annoying tutorial, then some hints.The actual tactics of the game aren't that interesting, and can tend to be a little micromanagey. Overly so. The best tactics are all cheesey and gamey.It's repetitive. Fighting the same kind of enemies over and over.The sounds...mostly okay except the voices. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn them down in battle, so it's just listening to bad polish voice acting.I wanted to like this game, but ultimately I didn't. For a better Battle of Britain experience try the board game - RAF: The Battle of Britain 1940.. as a brit and a fan of the RAF i had to get this game and i have never gone back since this game is one that will keep you on yout toes and keep you gessing as to how big the german air raids will be.. Well, at first I was not impressed by this game. It really looked stupid - top down view, graphics and so on. But I've decided to give a second change ... I did purchese it after all. There really are not graphics to get breathless about. But the more I played and got the hang of it, the more I enjoyed it. So much so that I decided to change my vote of No to YES. Jip, this small game has the potential to get really very, very addictive. It's the sort of game that says "give me one more go ... just one".Happy gaming..

I love the idea and the game, however its extremely hard to play later on in the game.I hope and await for "The Few 2", to fix all this problem for me.Currently this feels more like a Cannon Fodder gameplay.
